The Play! Pokémon Grassroots Program is a series of events hosted by Play! Pokémon Stores, where Pokémon fans come together as a community. Whether trading the newest cards, playing a couple of casual games, or competing in Premier Events, program participants enjoy a great time while playing the games they love.
Events are open to anyone who wants to play (or learn to play) the Pokémon Trading Card Game. We can teach you all of the basics that you need. Everybody has to start somewhere and even if you are confident in the game’s mechanics, it can still take a few games to adjust to playing people that you don’t already know. Mostly this is just a psychological hurdle, not too difficult to overcome and, when with other Pokémon fans, players generally adapt very quickly.
Parents are encouraged to play too. The kids will do all the hard work of building your deck for you, so you can join in simply by learning the basic game mechanics.
As you proceed through the various events (detailed below) the structure becomes a little more formal and the competition gets a bit stronger. Prerelease and League are simply play events. Challenge is an introduction to tournament play, and Cup events are a stepping stone to much larger competitions and venues.
All Pokémon TCG events separate players by age, loosely: <10, 11-14, and 15+. For simplicity, this is based only upon the YEAR in which you are born (so the age brackets are a little fuzzy). Each Pokemon tournament effectively runs as three separate events – provided that there are at least 4 players in each age category – and in all cases final standings are calculated for each of the three age groups individually. You may occasionally play outside of your age group, but you only compete within your age bracket.
Prerelease events allow players to receive and play with cards from the newest Pokémon TCG expansion before the expansion’s official release date.
Quarterly tournament
New cards from the latest expansion up to two weeks before release date
Each Build & Battle Box contains:
A 40-card ready-to-play deck, including 1 of 4 alternate-art promo cards
4 booster packs (10 cards and 1 basic Energy per pack)
Additional booster packs for all participants

Pokémon League is a fun and accessible way for Pokémon fans to get together and have some fun! League events are open to all Pokémon TCG players regardless of experience level or skill. Using your own cards, you can play, trade, and even earn cool prizes! The best part is that you can do all this with other Pokémon players who love collecting and playing just as much as you do.
Pokémon League events are a great way to learn game basics and get the feel for Pokémon competitive play before beginning to compete in Pokémon tournaments.
Pokémon League runs every Friday afternoon at Clifton Road Games, Exeter. From 3pm, until 6pm for the younger players, on into the evening for older/adult players.

Jumpstart introduces new players to Magic: The Gathering. All you need to do is open two packs, shuffle them together, and play! With two packs combined, players have all the spells and lands they need in one 40-card deck.
Players who register for the event using their individual Wizards Account and play 3 rounds of Jumpstart are eligible to receive promo materials at the event.*
* In my opinion there’s no getting around the marketing pitch here – Jumpstart is an excellent way to introduce new players to Magic the Gathering but… Celebration is also a pretty transparent attempt to get people (and stores) to sign up for the Magic Companion App (and, ultimately, MTG Arena). Pick your poison: most in-store players have the app anyway – relentless corporate data-harvesting (and personal cynicism) aside, it is a very good system with a great deal to recommend it – Jumpstart is an ideal starting point, plus Lord of the Rings, and they are tempting people with dice and promo cards. They know. We know that they know. They know that we know that they know…
For anyone relatively new to or keen to try out Magic: the Gathering, the Lord of the Rings ‘Celebration Event’ is an ideal place to begin.
Entry is £12 per player, for two Magic the Gathering, Lord of the Rings – Jumpstart booster packs, plus assorted MTG promo items (while stocks last).
